As a Juris Doctor with professional experience spanning both public and private legal environments, I have built a well-rounded skill set. My background as a legal clerk and policy analyst have created a foundation of strengths to support my career advancement. My legal acumen combined with my passion for economic development has been solidified during my work at the California Trade Justice Coalition, Office of the New York State Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission, and Housing and Economic Rights Advocates. Each of the positions I have held has enabled me to support policy design, improvement, and reform to advance initiatives related to various economic, social impact, employment/labor, and consumer issues. Leveraging my advanced research skills with a drive for resolving key issues, I have contributed to each organization I have been a part of in achieving goals and maintaining both ethical and compliant operations. Furthermore, I am recognized for my strong communication, presentation, and public speaking skills, all of which are vital skills to have in both policy and legal-facing roles. Although my career is still in the early stages, I have continued to grow and progress through roles by utilizing my academic background, personal qualities, and professional strengths.
